Round table

  • Giles
    • Want to try out the QDMA software.
    • Reading docs for QDMA driver.  Next step is to try using it.
    • Have U50 at Oxford.  Reference design uses XDMA, but will try it out anyway.
  • Chris
    • Looking at QDMA firmware.
    • Much more complex than XDMA, need to understand details
    • There is an auto-generated example design, tried compiling it, have loaded bitfile to U50.
      • Can send this to Giles.  But easy to build, but just need to pull one signal low.
    • Currently having issues with permissions etc.
  • David
    • Tech student at CERN should be available to work on software/integration etc for 6 months.
    • In the interests of getting something done quick, would it makes sense to use two separate PCIe Gen4 instances for data and control ?
      • Jim will contact Tom Williams/Alessandro to come and talk about ipBus and how it has been integrated with PCIe
  • Jim
    • Want to understand schedule so we can have some concrete short term goals ahead of PDR.  Will contact AT.
